Shouldn't be spending assets on guys in this contract situation unless you are 100% sure they will extend here

I'm pretty sure Duclair would extend if he's offered a long term deal. He's been bounced around a lot and gone from one short term deal to another for a while now. I would bet he is looking for security first and foremost. Also I wouldn't call him a third liner, he's been a top six staple for the Panthers for a couple of years now.
I think he would be a good add just due to the Huberdeau connection. If there is a deal to be made that works for Calgary is another question.
